“The rally was visible to Harris’ motorcade as she arrived to meet with Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei one day after he blamed the US for luring his constituents north. “Kamala, Trump won,” read a large sign near the Central American country’s presidential palace. “Kamala, Mind Your Own Business,” another sign said, according to a pool report. "Images posted to Twitter show other signs, including one that tells Biden’s migration czar: “Kamala, Go Home.”
“Another large sign set up by activists features a doctored photo of a pregnant Harris. "The poster read, “Guatemala is pro-life #momalahelpme.” Harris does not have biological children. “Another sign that appears to have been hoisted by activists onto a tall billboard along the roadway says, “Kamala Stop Funding Criminals #FueraDeGuatemala.”And the truth lives on after the VP’s departure:
“Giammattei said in a CBS News interview that aired Sunday that the Biden administration is to blame for sparking the migration crisis. (New York Post) “The Guatemalan president said he and Harris “are not on the same side of the coin” on migration. “We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said. "When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”

"More than 70 days ago, Biden named cackling Kamala as border czar but she hasn't done a single thing to protect the American people," Boebert said in the video as she visited McAllen, Texas.” “You can’t just hear about what’s happening. You have to come down here to see for yourself to really understand the devastating reality at our southern border,” Boebert says in the clip. “So I brought Kamala down to see exactly what this regime is responsible for with their manmade crisis.”

“The video is one of numerous instances of Republicans, as well as some Democrats, calling on the vice president to make a trip to the southern border to witness the realities of the crisis firsthand amid surging numbers of illegal border crossings. “Boebert in her video lists statistics that are up at the border. “Illegal aliens crossing the border, that’s up. Sex offenders crossing the border, that’s up. Drug trafficking, gun smuggling, human smuggling, that’s up,” she says. “U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported encountering more than 101,000 illegal migrants in February, more than 173,000 in March, and more than 178,000 in April. Those monthly totals represent a 175 percent increase, a 403 percent increase, and a 944 percent increase over last year’s monthly totals, respectively. “You know what’s not up at the southern border? Respect for law and order, funding for our Border Patrol. And where is the media to cover this crisis?” Boebert continued. “More than 70 days ago, Biden named cackling Kamala as the border czar but she hasn’t done a single thing to protect the American people.” “Boebert concluded the video by propping Harris up in front of the barrier, saying, “Now, Kamala, I want you to stand here and look at what you’ve done.” “Asked by a reporter Monday in Guatemala about the questions and criticisms Harris has faced over the ongoing calls for her to visit the U.S. border, she said, “I came here to be here on the ground to speak with the leader of this nation around what we can do in a way that is significant, is tangible, and has real results, and I will continue to be focused on that kind of work as opposed to grand gestures.”
"I'm here in Guatemala today," Harris responded: “At some point, you know, it -- we are going to the border. We've been to the border. So this whole -- this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border. We've been to the border," she repeated. "You haven't been to the border," Holt told Harris. "And I haven't been to Europe," Harris said. "I mean, (she laughs) I don't -- I don't understand the point that you're making. I'm not discounting the importance of the border.” “Holt noted that what Americans see is children being "lowered over fences" into the United States. "So the question has come up. You heard it here. You'll hear it again, I'm sure. Why not visit the border? Why not see what Americans are seeing in this crisis?" Holt asked Harris: "Well, we are going to the border," Harris said. "We have to deal with what's happening at the border. There's no question about that. That's not a debatable point. But we have to understand that there's a reason people are arriving at our border and ask, what is that reason? And then identify theproblem so we can fix it.” Her handlers should tell Harris that flashing her pearly whites at people in poor countries is the wrong way to garner their support. Meanwhile, Texas fans Pat and Steve wrote CFP with another idea for Kamala’s cardboard cutout: “Steve and I were laughing at the cardboard copy of Kamala. I made the comment that her husband is so thrilled with it, he is taking it to Paris on a second honeymoon,” wrote Pat. Kamala Harris is a creature made of cardboard—and there’s no possible way for the Democrats to reinforce it.
